I still have a belly but it's not nearly as bad as it first was.

I sill look about 4mo pg

for about a week. Mine seemed to disappear really quickly although the region is flabby. I look fine with clothes on, without, it's a mess.

I have a little one left, but mainly it is just strechy skin that I have to tighten up.

I have my non-maternity plants on as of yesterday and I have an 11 day old. I still have a little belly with clothes on, so I have been wearing my maternity shirts which hids is a bit, but I had a little belly prior to pregnancy. Without clothes on my belly is flabby and loose. I can't wait to get into the gym and tighten things up. Too bad I have 4 more weeks until my appointment to get clearance.

I could button my pre-preg jeans after about a week. The skin was definitely saggier for another few weeks though. Now at 6 months, I would actually feel comfortable wearing a 2-piece swimsuit. Well, as comfortable as I ever was... I don't exactly feel my best prancing around in a bikini.

Oh, and that was without any real "working out"... but I breastfed and walked a LOT... a couple miles a day, usually.

2 weeks - afnd now I look like I need to just lose a few pounds. (which I do - still 8 lbs. from pre-pg weight)

erbear · April 2009

I lost the weight by 2 weeks PP, but the belly is still pretty gross...stretch marks and saggy skin, with a little bulge above my pubic bone. Just got the all-clear to exercise though, so maybe that'll make a difference?

I am 9 weeks out and while its mostly soft area I still look about 4 months prego, I just started doing 30 min shred. I will never again wear my size 2 jeans , I am wearing size 4 now and thats ok but I want to at least lose my last 11 pounds and tone up for tshirts and shorts!!!

I was back in preprego jeans after 2 weeks. It looked like i as just a little chubby in the belly region. It's soft still & finally after 10 weeks I started working out a little other than few walks a week & you can see that I have ab muscles. Still a layer of squish over them, but there's hope!

In the first 2 weeks it went down like crazy. I'd step on the scale & see that I lost 4-6 lbs over night. The last 8 are sticking though. LOL!

I never got out of my maternity jeans, and now I'm knocked up again. I figure I'm doomed for life.

lauraanddave · April 2009

Eh, I still have a bit of a belly...but it's not bad and only shows if I'm wearing a tight shirt, which I try to avoid b/c my boobs are pretty huge right now.

exhausted_bride · April 2009

Well, I didn't look pregnant after a few weeks post partum, but I definitely still have a jelly belly that has yet to come off! And my hips are really, really wide.
